L.A. Poker Classic Day 3

By Pauly


After a somewhat short Day 2, there are 152 players remaining at the L.A. Poker Classic at Commerce Casino with JC Tran as the runaway chipleader with over 543K. He scooped the biggest pot of the tournament worth over a half of a million when he busted Day 1 chipleader Joe Sebok. JC Tran is looking for some revenge this year after he had his Aces cracked at the final table last year when Alan Goehring rivered a one outer.

I wrote a Recap of Day 2 which has been posted over at Poker News. Take a peek.

Head over to Poker News for our Live Reporting updates of Day 3 at the L.A. Poker Classic at Commerce Casino.

There's are also plenty of photos courtesy of Amy Calistri in the LAPC Photo Gallery.

BoDog Ari
Shaniac
Phil Laak
In case you have been following along with the Prop Bets series on RawVegas.tv, you will know that Gavin Smith and Joe Sebok have been doing outrageous bets with each other. One of them was settled last night. The two had a last longer bet at the LAPC. The loser now has to get the winner's initials tattooed on their ass. Gavin busted out before Sebok and J.S. will be forever inked on his pale white ass. Poor Gavin. Actually, I feel bad for the guy who actually has to do the inkwork on Gavin's ass.

Head over to RawVegas.tv to see their last prop bet... a food eating contest. Hilarious.
